The Soul of My Work

29.12.2008

 

In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
Steve Jobs

 

I was fortunate to find my life calling a few years ago. I was a geek with a Master in Computer Science, an mathematician with Olympiads credentials who was often being told she has a talent for design. I had no idea what to do with this talent until I discovered UX; now I use it with passion

I’m a big believer in research and user testing, but once all the data is out there, the solution is going to be the act of a special breed of talented people who, to use Sartre’s word, “create not only the real, but the possible”!
